Encapsulation of 6TiSCH Join and Enrollment Information Elements
RFC 9032, “Encapsulation of 6TiSCH Join and Enrollment Information Elements”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2021 by D. Dujovne, M. Richardson. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
In the Time-Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) mode of IEEE Std 802.15.4, opportunities for broadcasts are limited to specific times and specific channels. Routers in a TSCH network transmit Enhanced Beacon (EB) frames to announce the presence of the network. This document provides a mechanism by which additional information critical for new nodes (pledges) and long-sleeping nodes may be carried within the EB in order to conserve use of broadcast opportunities.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
